this was NOT The Heart Principle, but that’s okay. it serves its purpose.
truly full of gratuitous smut, this was very much a romance novel. after the half a dozen sex scenes, i understood why it was so popular. i wonder why the author toned it down so much for the next two books? this was spicy in every other chapter!
overall a fun premise—who doesn’t love Pretty Woman? but Michael’s inconsistent character (and his weird, occasionally right occasionally wrong understanding of consent) was wild to me. Stella was fine, though her arc seemed rushed toward the end.
fun read, but certainly not Helen Hoang’s best work.

Be aware there are quite a few 'steamy' scenes. I am not usually a fan of awkward or virginal sex scenes. I usually do my best to avoid such content in books, perhaps that is why it took me so long to read this. However they were handled so well and honestly that it made this an enjoyable and insightful read.
